Anniversary Special - your chance to contribute

[Stuart Taylor]

Everyone

We want to produce an anniversary special ahead of the Statfold Barn event. The focus of the special will be on the Society through it's 5 decades of existence, highlighting the good, significant events in the Society that have happened in each decade. We also want to showcase great layouts from the five decades.

I have some input from those members who have been with the Society most of the five decades (only a handful have been there from the start). What I want is some input for yourselves and it falls into 3 parts. You don't have to provide all three but the information I want falls nicely into three groupings:

• What are the significant events that you can remember in the Society's history over the five decades
• What anecdotes do you have of life in the Society
• What layouts do you think have been significant in 009 over the 5 decades (note 009 is an umbrella nomenclature for all scales/gauges that the Society encompasses)

I would be grateful if you could email me your thoughts in the next two weeks at contents@009society.com. I'm happy for a discussion to take place here to help stimulate ideas and memories from others but it will be easier for me to handle content in my mailbox.

Thanks

Stuart

P.S. What have I taken on....

Hi Guys


How about some curved points and a crossover to be able to use with peco track I know it's wishful thinking but for those of us who don't have the skill to build points and track work as complicated as points and crossover I'd see these items becoming a number one wish list

Thanks

Is that in the correct topic?

Hi Stuart

Apologies if it's not I'm not sure how best to answer the question either way as there is so much I'd like to list on here particularly locomotives I don't think it'll be able to happen in the timeframe you are looking at sorry it's not the answer you're looking for but it better to be honest than tell you something that isn't going to happen

Thanks
Alan

Everyone

I trust you have all got over your Coronation Quiche and are busy penning some answers to the following 3 questions:

• What are the significant events that you can remember in the Society's history over the five decades
• What anecdotes do you have of life in the Society
• What layouts do you think have been significant in 009 over the 5 decades (note 009 is an umbrella nomenclature for all scales/gauges that the Society encompasses)

Many thanks

Stuart
